North Beach/ Little Italy Food Tour
& North Beach Food & Wine Tour

North Beach is a food lover's feast and we are delighted to be your
guides on this wonderful North Beach Food Tour. As you enter this
neighborhood you will begin to notice the scent of baking bread and
the aroma of strong coffee. On our food tour, our stops and dining
choices change but chances are we'll be having antipasti, appetizers,
pizza, pasta, breads, and we'll likely end with canolli from one of
the
oldest and best Italian bakeries anywhere! But just to make sure
we've covered all the bases, we will probably have tiramisu from
an
even older Italian eatery that first opened it's doors in 1880. We
all
love home made fudge as much as we love hand-made truffles,
so we
usually have both and let you decide which is your favorite!
Some of
the best coffee in
the world is roasted right here in
North
Beach and
we have been
invited to observe their tried and
true
process.

We will start with pasta which is how they begin their meals in
Italy
and
along the way we will make at least 5 stops to eat at
otherplaces.
The focus will be Italian but we might throw in some
other foods to
mix things up. But one thing is for sure, it will be
delicioso!

All of our tours are rich in history and this neighborhood has a
wonderful past to share. During the Gold Rush of 1849, North Beach
was home to people from all over the globe. Italians arrived in North
Beach, mainly from the northern region of Liguria. Many of the first
Italians to arrive were men, once these men had earned enough
money for the passage, they would send for their families back
home.
By the 1880's, California had become a leading fishery and its
coastal waters were dominated by Italian fishermen and their
graceful
sailing "felucca's"

In the 1900's Sicilian family blocks began to arrive in San
Francisco
in
great numbers, attracted by relatively similar climate
and good
fishing
conditions.Competition heated up between the Northern
Italians
and the
Sicilians,
as they were referred to then. The
restaurant
scene flourshed
as a result.
That is the kind of
competition where no one really loses!
We support that.

The Latin Quarter is what this area was once called, as it not only
was the center
for the Italians but the Spanish speakers as well. To
this day,
there are still several Basque restaurants in the district, a
mixture of
French
and Spanish influences, frequently we stop in at
one of these
eateries to
try
their unique dishes.

There is a lot to see in this historic and monumental district but
come
hungry because
on this tour we will be focusing on the food
of North
Beach. And what great food it is!
